Funny how you get politicians from Flushing who cannot negotiate the English languague, look like a deer in headlights when they confront something from the insrutible western culture, yet not only get elected, but have the Queens press fawn all over them.

Yikes. If you don't like him, fine. Tell us why. I'm learning about Queens politics and I'd like to know. But cool it on the racist stuff,please, like "inscrutable" and the reference to the dragon boats. Thanks.

Anonymous #1 -- It's obvious you have never heard Liu speak. He's one of the more articulate Council Members and is fluent in English, with no accent. Maybe you should investigate before you pull crap out of your bum.

Anonymous #2 -- great idea to landmark the dragon boat docks -- they look and have more historic significance than some of the other crap some people in Queens want to landmark and luckily haven't been able to.

Anonymous #1 said Liu can't negotiate the English language, not that he can't speak English. His grammar and public speaking skills leave much to be desired. (If you had been at a recent ceremony at the Quaker meeting house and watched our friend Johnny-on-the-spot in action, you'd know exactly what was meant by that remark.)

The point about the dragon boat docks is that you can't build on them because they are in the water. Those are the types of landmarks we get in Queens - ones by default.

"But cool it on the racist stuff,please, like "inscrutable" and the reference to the dragon boats."

Actually the poster had in mind was a certain female offiical from Flushing.

And the point of the Dragon Boat docks is an effort by the powers that be to brand Queens as exclusively an ethnic dumping ground. Take a look at the 'wonderful' stained glass on the 7 line. It goes through the alpahbet hitting every targeted ethic group it can. 'D' is not for Douglaston, but 'Dragon' boat, like 'X' is not for the first Xerox but some obscure far eastern board game.

I realize that under the protection of the clubhouse, immigrants can do pretty much what they please; the rest of us have to suffer.

They are be fully confident that if anyone even looks they will be publicly censored by the tweeder politician their lapdog press.

That is about to change. Everyone in this country is equal. Be confident people in being an American citizen, veteran, or taxpayer. It is your right to say anything you wish about the tweeded any day of the week.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
